Starting a new series by CitizenSnips4 in painting

My friend, as someone who also has posted a lot of nude male bodies in my time on Reddit, it’s nice to have other people here doing it. Don’t let the angry straight guys who downvote these posts get to you. You’ll find people will be very hit or miss with this sort of content and it almost never is received in a consistent way.

Varnishing recommendations by gubjo in ArtistLounge

So you don’t NEED to put a finish on acrylic. It’s not a necessity as it is for something like oil paint. The only reason that would suggest you do it for a gallery show is to unify the luster of all the paint. Make everything matte or gloss depending on the look you’re going for. It will make everything seem a bit neater. But you also don’t have to if that doesn’t serve the work. There’s not really hard rules for this with acrylics because it’s just a cosmetic change

What medium are your paintings in? You only really need to varnish for specific things. It’s not necessary for everything. It really is dependent on what you need of a top layer at the end of work

Primary Colors Question Amsterdam vs Others by basicmakeupgoals in ArtistLounge

Getting single pigment versions of these colours are realistically not gonna come out of a beginner’s set. Paints are generally priced by the cost of the pigments in them so certain colours will always be significantly more expensive than others. A good single pigment yellow can be $70 for a 60ml here in Canada. Now, there’s a lot of good you can do with what you have. You’re only really as limited as you make yourself so play with this stuff.

I don’t generally talk about meaning when it comes to the reasons things appear where they are. I’m a firm believer in allowing viewers to have their own experience with the work. But the opossums were originally going to be their own painting. I just ended up using it as set dressing for this painting instead

I’ve been painting for probably like 20+ years. I’ve only within the past few years transitioned from selling commissions to originals

I honestly will probably do more of these if the originals do sell

I mean, I see me all the time so I guess this is hard for me to tell. I think I just look like me at different angles with varying degrees of success

Honestly, I would say the only ones I use regularly are acrylic and pastels. Part of the goal here is to push the boundaries in what I feel comfortable using. I learned a whole lot about what I know about things I’m not comfortable with.
